Lyrics
First Stanza
Stand up, ones who are branded by the curse,
All the world's starving and enslaved!
Our outraged minds are boiling over,
Ready to lead us into a deadly fight.
We'll destroy this whole world of violence
Down to the foundations, and then
We will build our new world.
We were nothing let us be all!
Chorus (×2):
This is our final
and decisive battle;
The Internationale
Unites the human race!
Second Stanza
No one will grant us salvaton,
No god, no caeser, nor hero.
We will win our emancipation,
With our very own hands.
To throw down oppression with a skilled hand,
To take back what is truly ours —
Light up the furnace and hammer boldly,
and strike the iron while it's still hot!
Chorus (×2):
